Imagine if you could write Python code that doesnât just move dataâbut moves the needle on how the modern insurance industry functions. Youâre not building another feature flag for a SaaS dashboard. Youâre writing backend systems that support machine learning models tasked with identifying truth (or at least a statistically reliable approximation of it) in an industry built on uncertainty: insurance.
This is not a vibe-based startup. It's a well-capitalized AI company where engineering decisions are consequential and the work is rooted in measurable outcomes. The product helps insurers detect fraudulent claims using a data-driven platform that aims to remove biasâbecause the stakes arenât likes or clicks; theyâre dollars and liability.
Youâll be the kind of engineer who prefers to spend time writing backend Python that automates infrastructure logic, builds internal tools, or glues together machine learning pipelines in AWS. Terraform is here, obviously. So are EC2, RDS, Lambda, and other expected acronyms. But what sets this apart is the opportunity to shape how it all functionsâfunctionally.
And yes, this role is onsite, in Toronto or Vancouver. Youâll be around other engineers who care about systems, not just shipping tickets.
